First year I complained because they were letting people smoke there and it was awful. Can you imagine allowing people to smoke in a retirement home? I called the state.

But, if I was in that state of mind, at least I would make the thing fun, a half gallon of premium ice cream per day, extra-heavily buttered bread, all the sweets that I could gourge down, plenty of sex and drugs and rock&roll. Hell, if I am going to go and I have an idea of when, I am going out in style.

Have a great day.

My grandfather was 90 with a cigar, his oxygen and his scotch. I think he might have made it a little longer without the cigars and scotch. But who knows? The guy who started Bob's Red Mill is 90 and looking really good. For 90.

I know he's not always popular on this site, but I appreciate this humor. As a nation, we have lost our humor and I think that's harmful.

Even though I think Kerry had to concede when he did, for the good of the party and the country, Carville shouldn't have forced his hand by tipping off his Republican wife that Kerry was going to contest Ohio.

fact-free promises. It is one thing to want a better world, it is a totally different affair when people completely disregard clear warning signs that a called out method of getting there is nothing but a mere mirage.

I've stayed out of conversations regarding other candidates, in which I couldn't offer my full and enthusiastic support. I respect everyone's preferences and passions but nothing has swayed my original pick.

And, in literally every post I've done in this forum, I've spoken the truth...I WILL vote for whoever becomes our nominee.

That said, I've been behind Joe since this forum opened. I never changed my preference, regardless of which way the winds were blowing.

I've watched Trump pull every loathsome Lee Atwater / Karl Rove trick in the book to bring Joe down, and yesterday stands as more than sufficient proof that it...didn't...work.

I do believe that, out of the current candidates, Joe is the one who can beat Trump. Period. As long as Joe is in, I'm in for Joe, and if that changes, I'll adjust my support accordingly.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
